Arabic vocabulary
مَسَّ is how you say “to touch” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
الحمد لله الذي صور الصور وما باشر ولا مس،
Praise be to Allah, who shaped the forms without touching or contacting.
مَسَّ — he touched. A past-tense verb with 'He' built in, under the negation, so 'nor did He touch'. Pairing this with the earlier denial drives home that the divine shaping involved no physical touch at all.
